Civilization: Beyond Earth Gets Master Control Gameplay Video

Following PAX Prime 2014, Firaxis and 2K have released roughly six minutes of gameplay footage for Civilization: Beyond Earth.

The footage is narrated by Master Control, the AI devoted to working with a specific planet within the Civ: BeyondEarth universe. She talks about battle, life, and the civilization walking the planet’s surface.

Honestly, as more time goes by, I get more and more excited for this next chapter in the Civ story. Beyond Earth looks like exactly what I want from a science-fiction strategy game. It’s slow, dramatic, smart and dedicated to challenging players.

Sign me up for all of that.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is set to hit the PC platform on Oct. 24, 2014. We’ll have more on the title as it comes.
